The correct Answer is:
To find the wrong statement about angiosperm roots, we will analyze each option one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Option (a): Apex is protected by root cap.** - The root cap is a protective structure that covers the tip of the root. Its primary function is to protect the growing tip of the root as it pushes through the soil. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Option (b): Vascular bundles are collateral.** - Collateral vascular bundles consist of xylem and phloem arranged side by side, which are typically found in stems of angiosperms. In roots, the arrangement is different, and they do not have collateral vascular bundles. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate Option (c): Xylem is centripetal in young state.** - In young roots, the xylem develops in a centripetal manner, meaning it is formed towards the center of the root. This statement is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate Option (d): Cuticle is absent in young state.** - The cuticle is a protective layer that is generally present in higher plants, including young roots. Thus, this statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion: The only wrong statement about angiosperm roots is **Option (b): Vascular bundles are collateral**.
